Rough Country Long Arms
Are the rc long arm kits worth the money? Been looking at doing the swap on mine but dont wanna spend an arm and leg to do it.

I've read about too many people having trouble with their flex joints to be comfortable spending that much money on something I was going to have to constantly rebuild. A lot of guys on here have had to replace them within a few thousand miles. RC won't cover them either, they'll blame you for not constantly adjusting the flex joint every time you wheel.
In that price range I'd look at Serious Offroad's long-arm setup. There are others I would recommend first, but not in that price range.

I've had rough country's long arm kit for over a year now ive been Wheeling everywhere with it and I've had no problems with anything on it. but then again I do a little thing called basic maintenance, meaning if it had a zerk fitting on it, I grease it, if something is broken I fix it. I'll tell you they're worth the price, what do I know I actually own and spent money on them.
